Customer Satisfaction First
We, Fukuhara Group, are proud of our unique business structure. At the center of our group is the sales division Fukuhara Industrial & Trading Co., Ltd which, along with Precision Fukuhara Works Ltd, manufacturer of circular knitting machines, and Fukuhara Needle Co. Ltd, manufacturer of knitting elements such as needles and sinkers, forms a knitting machinery group like no other in the world. This group structure allows us to both domestically manufacture and sell from Japan circular knitting machines and their related parts, needles, and sinkers to customers around the globe.
Our long time working relationship with Monarch Knitting Machinery Corporation with its head office in the United States is also an integral part of our global business. Under the technology and sales alliance between Monarch and Fukuhara, Fukuhara products are sold under the MONARCH brand mainly in Europe and North America. The very same products are sold as the FUKUHARA brand in most other regions of the world.
The knitted fabrics produced by our machines have a variety of uses, many of which are indispensable for daily life. Some examples include inner wear, T-shirts, polo shirts, and sweater type garments. Knitted fabrics are also used for the production of sporting goods such as training wear, leotards, swimming wear, et cetera. Demand for knitted fabric has also been growing in non-apparel industrial fields. In addition to established uses for car seats and interiors in the automotive industry, they are also increasingly being used for medical applications such as medical tapes and home textile applications such as mattress ticking and sheet covers.
Based upon the knitting technology we have cultivated over many years, we will continue to supply the world with high-quality circular knitting machinery, parts, and needles manufactured in Japan to the utmost precision. It is our hope that in doing so we can contribute to the continued development of the textile industry while giving top priority to customer satisfaction.
